[PATCH 6/7] ythermal: core: report errors to governors

[Eduardo Valentin]

From: Eduardo Valentin <eduval@xxxxxxxxxx>

Currently the thermal governors are not allowed to
react on temperature error events as the thermal core
skips the handling and logs an error on kernel buffer.
This patch adds the opportunity to report the errors
when they happen to governors.

Now, if a governor wants to react on temperature read
errors, they can implement the .check_error() callback.
